Hi,
Node-dagre-d3-renderer is currently a package of upstream:
dagre-d3-renderer.
dagre-d3-renderer itself is a fork of dagre-d3
Since there's currently a requirement of dagre-d3, I have changed the
upstream to dagre-d3 instead, and updated watch, copyright, control, et.
al. files accordingly, and also added in a README.Debian to explain the
change.
I have the following reasons to change the upstream:

* One of the major motivation of getting dagre-d3-renderer to debian was
because its a build dependency of node-mermaid; node-mermaid needs
dagre-d3. While relevant patches for the same can be applied, it becomes
hectic to keep maintaining them in a long run.

* dagre-d3 upstream is more updated with frequent releases, and on the
other hand, there seems to be no commit in dagre-d3-renderer since >1.5
years.

I have pushed my changes to my local fork here[1].
Strangely, when I tried pushing to js-team, my changes were rejected,
really unsure what is wrong here.
Needs review and sponsorship.

Thanks and regards
